Chapter 36: Life Enlightenment
Xiao Liyue looked at Chiyi's innocent smile. To be honest, it was her greatest honor to be its master, so she would not treat it badly.
She stood up holding it, looking at the spiritual fruits and herbs in front of them, and the two of them began to get busy.
Xiao Liyue sorted the spiritual fruits and spiritual herbs, built several acres of grape racks, and planted the spiritual fruit trees and spiritual grape trees that Chiyi had pulled back one by one.
After working for an hour, I finally finished.
Looking at the wide orchard in front of her, Xiao Liyue showed a satisfied smile. It would be convenient for her to eat fruits in the future. It was great to have such a space. She found that she liked this world of cultivation more and more.
Chi Yi, who was packing up the food, returned to the space.
Xiao Liyue looked at the black iron stone in the corner of the space and had an idea in mind, so she immediately started to act. When she saw that it was almost dawn outside the space, she left the space and prepared to make breakfast.
Yu Fengchen and his five companions, who had experienced a blow yesterday, had been practicing hard all night without sleep. So when they smelled the aroma of barbecue wafting in the air, they all walked out of the tent at the same time.
Before dawn, Xiao Liyue was seen grilling meat near her tent. Chiyi was sitting on her shoulder, staring at the barbecue. The man and the pet seemed to be chatting about something, talking and laughing, and it looked very warm.
When Xiao Liyue saw the few people getting up, she quickly asked them to wash up and prepare for dinner.
They looked at each other and walked towards the river as usual. When they came back from washing up, all the dishes were on the table.
Yu Fengchen and the others sat down obediently. Looking at the sumptuous food in front of them, Chu Mingyou couldn't help but ask curiously, "Ninth Elder, why is today's breakfast so sumptuous? There are even barbecued meat and roasted chicken. Did you eat too well so early in the morning?"
Xiao Liyue smiled gently: "Chiyi is craving for barbecue, so I grilled some for you too."
Chi Yi looked at the five of them with a proud look on his face, as if to say, if it weren't for it, you wouldn't be able to eat barbecue at all.
Looking at its boastful eyes, Chu Mingyou rubbed his nose awkwardly. He thought it had made barbecue specially for them, but it turned out to be grilled for them out of greed. Could it be that they should thank it for such a sumptuous meal this morning?
Yu Fengchen was surprised to see Xiao Liyue doting on Chi Yi so much. No wonder Chi Yi liked her so much.
After hearing this, Wei Zishu smiled gently and said, "The Ninth Elder is really good to his spiritual pet. Most cultivators who contract spiritual pets only use them as their weapons. No one would treat a spiritual pet like this."
"Well! It's really rare to find a master who can fulfill every request of his spiritual pet." Nangong Yu also spoke.
Situ Mo nodded and said, "That's right! The Ninth Elder is really kind and beautiful, not as vicious as the sect said. It seems that many people have misunderstood the Ninth Elder. I feel that the Ninth Elder is very real, not as scheming as others."
Xiao Liyue smiled sweetly and rubbed Chiyi's little head lovingly: "It is not only my contracted spiritual pet, but also my partner and family, and my most loyal guard, so I will naturally satisfy its requests if I can do it."
"The outside world's comments on me are just a joke to me. When others laugh at me, I am laughing at others' incomprehension. There are too many people who want to laugh at me, and there are also people who hate me. All I can do is to be the most authentic myself, instead of becoming someone else's favorite for the sake of others. So am I living for others? Or for myself?"
Yu Fengchen listened to her words with shock in his eyes. What had she experienced to make her say such a philosophy of life?
Even though he had lived for thousands of years, he still couldn't see things as clearly as she did. He was really becoming more and more curious about her.
After hearing this, Wei Zishu and his companions suddenly felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth pouring into their bodies.
Wei Zishu, Nangong Yu and the other three quickly sat cross-legged on the ground and began to absorb the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
When Yu Fengchen and Xiao Liyue saw that the four of them had an epiphany, they hurried to protect them.
Chi Yi looked at the delicacies on the table, then looked at the four people sitting cross-legged on the ground, frowned, and looked puzzled.
It never thought that their master had just said a few words, and they had a collective epiphany. It was a pity that it hadn't even started eating its roasted chicken or pork chops yet!
An hour later, the four of them opened their eyes and looked at Xiao Liyue with excitement.
Situ Mo and Chu Mingyou broke through the foundation-building stage and advanced to the initial stage of enlightenment.
Wei Zishu and Nangong Yu were already at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and this sudden realization allowed them to advance directly to the middle stage of the Enlightenment Stage.
Yu Fengchen was happy for them, "Congratulations to you brothers for your sudden enlightenment and successfully advancing to the opening stage."
Xiao Liyue was also happy for them, "Congratulations, your enlightenment has directly advanced two levels this time, it's amazing!"
Wei Zishu and the others were grateful: "In fact, we should thank you, Ninth Elder, because your words made us understand the path we want to take."
"Haha...it's good that you understand what you want. I'll go heat up the food and prepare for breakfast."
Chiyi had already eaten, and Xiao Liyue couldn’t bear to see it staring at him pitifully, so she let it eat first.
Xiao Liyue and the others only ate after the food was heated up.
After they finished eating, she threw the specially made sandbags in the space to them and said, "Your task today is to tie your hands and feet to these sandbags and run from here to the mountain. If you run ten times back and forth, you will complete the task."
Chu Mingyou looked at the strange long sandbag, "Is it that simple? Isn't this something that can be done easily?"
Yu Fengchen and Wei Zishu don’t think things are that simple. After all, the last mission is still fresh in their minds.
Situ Mo smiled and said, "It's just four sandbags. Watch me." After saying that, he picked up the sandbags. As a result, his hands sank and the sandbags fell heavily to the ground. He just stood there in a daze.
"Haha...You, what are you doing! You can't even lift a small sandbag steadily, watch me." After saying that, Chu Mingyou picked up the sandbag with one hand, and it took a lot of strength to barely lift it up.
Seeing how hard the two were struggling, Yu Fengchen couldn't help but pick up a sandbag. When he felt the weight, he understood why they were struggling.
A sandbag weighs over 100 kilograms. If four sandbags are carried on the body, it would weigh 400 kilograms. Even if they are monks, they cannot bear this weight without spiritual power and rely on their bodies.
Wei Zishu and Nangong Yu also picked up a sandbag. The moment they picked it up, they knew why Chu Mingyou couldn't hold it steadily just now.
You should know that the higher the level of the cultivator, the stronger his strength. In the Qi training stage, he can lift 200 kilograms of things, in the foundation building stage, 500 kilograms, in the consecration stage, 1,000 kilograms, in the fusion stage, 1,500 kilograms, and so on.
But they are limited in what they can lift. To lift something that heavy, they need to use their spiritual power to lift a weight that is equal to their cultivation level. Now that their spiritual power is sealed, it is indeed very difficult for them to bear these weights with their physical bodies alone. After all, they are not physical cultivators.
Xiao Liyue smiled and said, "Things that seem simple are often the most difficult. As a qualified cultivator, we not only need to cultivate our spiritual power, but also our physical body. After all, when our spiritual power is exhausted, our physical body will become our life-saving backup."
